It hides the entire drive. That is the point....though there are better alternatives in my opinion. :P

what are the better alternatives?

you can alternatively go to compmgt.msc and remove a drive letter to the desired drive.
And once you want it to show up go there again and assign it again.

Hide it .How can i use it again without modifying registry.

I think it just hides the drive

True Crypt for the win. Just remember to always back up your volume-headers in case of problemos.

Thanks for the advice Disme, TrueCrypt is the better solution for hiding sensitive info imo.

Absolutely nothing, no danger at all of data loss.

can't see a reason to do it

Privacy, feature lock-down if it's a public terminal and you don't want customers to be able to access drives.
